Frequently Asked Questions
The best tequila for margaritas is the one you enjoy! I prefer a blanco tequila, but you can also use reposado. I would skip an anejo since those tend to be a little more expensive and have a more complex, concentrated flavor.
You don't need to spend a lot on a bottle, just make sure you like the taste of it on its own, even if you're mixing it in a cocktail.
You don't need triple sec (quite a few of the recipes here don't contain it), but it is found in the classic recipe for margaritas. Both tequila and lime are tart, and the orange liqueur adds a touch of sweetness to balance out the flavor and cut through all of that tartness.
You can substitute it for Cointreau if you already have a bottle of that orange liqueur on your bar.
